When it comes to being green or purchasing eco-friendly products, I’m far from perfect. It takes effort, can be expensive but I do my best and at the resistance of my husband. I want to teach my children responsibility to our planet and its important to lead by example.
It first began with cleaning products. I turned to Shaklee after becoming pregnant with my oldest five years ago and I was determined to eliminate harmful chemicals from our home. Shaklee’s laundry detergent is outstanding and safe to use on infant’s clothing. In addition to Shaklee’s fantastic Super Clean Concentrate, you’ll be amazed what can be accomplished with water and vinegar.
Once my daughter began school, I was on a mission to reduce the amount of plastic by purchasing reusable sandwich bags. Then it was on to removing all the plastic storage containers. We switched to Snapware Glasslock Glass Storage Containers last year and could not be more satisfied.
